Basic knowledge
This was a basic overview of the standards of dress, decorum, and hygiene and beauty standards. There is nothing in this book that a casual reader of the occasional vogue magazine, various style articles and beauty articles will have not already known. As for capturing the how to get that certain je ne sais quoi elegance that can be so elusive in an athleisure saturated world... It's not here. On the plus side though, I made a commitment to stick with and maybe up my beauty routines.

I think this is a good book if you are interested in improving how you present yourself. The big plus to me this is not about having lots of money to buy designer clothes it's more about how you take what you have and make it work.
To be honest while I liked the book it is not for me I am way to bohemian in my tastes but I am not in the working world trying to be taken seriously. I think this book is for those who need to be taken seriously or whose style idols are Jackie O, Princess Diana, Duchess Kate, Michelle Obama.

A department store kind of book.
I have read a few other books to understand some underlying reasons behind what are stated, yet the book is short and to the point for someone who is self aware and self disciplined to follow, to be not only an elegant but also a well-mannered person.
Good to refer to as a guide, a wikipedia, with some help from tips, dos/don’ts as well as crash examples for time-limited situations.

Nothing new here but
Reminders are always good.
I wish there had been something on "mature" women besides a glancing comment on skincare. My gray has come in well enough that women ask me where I got my highlights done (I like to say God did them ;-) ) but sometimes I'm unsure of colors and hair care.

Good book serves as a reminder of etiquette and elegance though I'm afraid nothing new if you've researched this topic beforehand but still a great short read before important events to serve as an aid

A very straight forward and detail of what is needed to be elegant. It is a short and easy read. There wasn't anything new for me who is older. It is a nice reminder. I will pass it on to my children and grandkids.

Useful and practical
The tips and suggestions were tactful, easy to remember and are useful to all age groups. I really like brushing up on how to dress. It helps me avoid getting in a fashion and beauty rut. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.

Short and helpful
This is a list of basic rules for looking polished and behaving appropriately. It’s not exhaustive in any category, but is a good start for anyone interested in becoming more put together.

I don’t know that I’ll be called “elegant” anytime soon, but I picked up a few makeup and hair tips here. Most of the wardrobe tips were common sense, I thought.

No reference for grey hair.
I felt excluded when grey wasn't an option for hair color. This was an unfortunate use of ageism. Lost interest after that section.

Waste of time!
In its incredibly short 60 pages, this book gives vague, general fashion advice that can easily be found in any fashion magazine.

Nothing to see here, folks.
Predictable and pedestrian. No surprises or ephanies. I did like being reminded of that scent of my mother’s make up from days long ago.

Written in a similar fashion to a good Vogue article, the book gives simple suggestions to improve yourself, giving yourself more self-confidence, and help to impress others.
